The AcroPackTM product line updates our popular Industry Pack I/O modules with a PCIe interface format. This tech-refresh design offers a compact size, low-cost I/O, the same functionality and memory map of the existing Industry Pack modules.
This board interfaces two AcroPack mezzanine modules to a PCI Express bus on a PC-based computer system.
Two AcroPack module slots give you the freedom to mix a variety of I/O functions (A/D, D/A, digital in, digital out, serial I/O, etc.) on a single board. Or, combine modules of the same type for almost one hundred channels on a single card. Either way, the APX4020 Series saves your precious card slots and reduces your costs.
Select I/O modules from Acromag’s offering or use most third-party mPCIe compliant modules.
